Moira is almost 4 months old. I finally took some more photos of her this week. She now seems to enjoy laying down, rather than sitting in her bouncy seat. She will enjoy her activity mat for about 15 minutes or so, before freaking out for some special attention.

Hannah & Kyle got married under the central California coast redwood trees today. The same spot where my husband & I got married 5 years ago. It was so fun to be part of another wedding there.

Moss & branches & vintage fabrics were in abundance.

I love the flowers of late summer!

These gorgeous Dahlias were fresh from the most amazing Dahlia farm, just down the road. There, Kevin breeds & grows his own dahlia varieties. If you are ever in the area, arrange to visit the farm. It will not disappoint. The Watsonville area has great flower growers!

My photos don't do justice. But, here are my husband's currently blooming orchids. He has more amazing orchid plants, He is nursing them back into blooming season. We love having these beauties in our dining room!

Gillian got sick in the middle of the night last night. Now she already seems better. Now I think I am sick. Hopefully my sickness will be done as soon as hers was.

I don't feel too sad about being sick, though. My husband is bringing home pizza for us. Nice. He is also bringing home our farm box.

Getting the farm box is one of his favorite things to do. He likes to be the one to be able to make the trade. At each pick up site, the farm leaves a trade box with one item in it. You can take that item, if you would like to leave one of your items in the box. (Hence the name, trade box.) If we get strawberries in our farm share, Scott is committed to never taking them home (as they cannot compare to Wellpict berries). So, he nearly always has a trade to make. Because of this, we have had a lot of green onions lately. I am really hoping the trade item is not green onions this evening. I don't know what I will do if it is. Oh wait. No, I do know. I will make some of this Pistou. It is yummy & simple. It uses only a few ingredients, two of each we have in plenty during this season (e.i. dill weed & green onions). Plus, it is called Pistou. Who could resist a good Pistou?

We ate this on top of Salmon for our midday meal today. That was tasty. I mixed it into rice for the kids. They loved it. Peyton kept saying "mmmmmmmmmm" while he was eating. Gillian squealed, "There is grass in the rice? You picked grass for this, for me? Oh! I like it!"
